Ending The Fight


The rain came down in sheets, plastering her hair to her head.  She walked along the side of the road with her head down, blinking the tear-laced moisture from her eyes.

They had a fight and in a feeling of exasperation she had fled.  She walked with purpose, determined to reach her friend’s house.  It had been a stupid fight, started over a sink of dirty dishes.

The blare of a car horn startled her.  He pulled up alongside, rolled down the window and called out.

“Hey, I’m sorry.”

She turned and fired through the open window.

“Not sorry enough.”
